Bar review only.
Whenever in Kyoto my wife and I visit this friendly sake bar, and the selection is always interesting and the staff eager to discuss this great beverage. It is located just up from the lovely Gion Geisha district and has the best tap beer I've ever had in Japan, the premium Sapporo brand, Yebisu, so good a...

It was a good pick. It was quite difficult to find a place where to stay in Kyoto at year end. We booked the female dorms for ourselves. We were four. The room was very very small and it was ok because we knew each other, otherwise it would have been quite hard. We were on the 2nd floor. On...

My husband and I stayed here for six nights at the hostel. It is in a fantastic location close to public transport and a lot of the local sights. The beds were comfortable and the dorm room was spacious with personal lockers. The staff were friendly and very helpful throughout our stay.

The reason I am writing this was because I feel the need to express just how great this sake bar was. We ended up back here two out of the three of our nights in Kyoto. The staff were so friendly that we felt...

Great staff, very friendly. A department store's security had moved my illegally-parked bike and left a note in Japanese on it. I could not read the note so I asked the staff what it meant. Not only did they tell me about the note, but they also called the department store and talked with them to try to find out...

There are lockers for everyone, is...

The place was extremely clean and was in a very nice location, The shower and toilet facilities were fantastic and felt very reliable and clean. There was a washing machine and common area if needed. The rooms were nice and homely with a toilet inside.
